notes

SL differs for two of Accrington's ten goals, crediting Billy Barbour & Bob Brand at the expense of John Kirkham. Our goals line follows the AOT which carries the most detailed and comprehensive report going. The double hat-trick for Johnny Kirkham is backed-up in the CFF. The GH doesn't contradict our stated goals line, but omits 3 of the 10.

Match Report

TTA report

At one point “both teams were playing grandly” (GH) but when the home team opened the scoring on 20 minutes it was one-way traffic after that. In mitigation, they lost the services of McCorkindale to injury (and 6 goals) in the second half.
